The GAIA Fellowship 

The GAIA Fellowship, organized and developed by FEE, challenges young people to create and develop their own solution to an environmental-related problem. Each fellow is guided by a mentor and receives several education materials to support the development of their project. The goal of the fellowship is to help the fellows become sustainable leaders and have their projects implemented in real life. 

The GAIA Fellowship wants to empower individuals through the lens of sustainable development. The fellowship will enable them to transform the knowledge and skills gained into actions in their sphere of influence that are environmentally sustainable and socially just. Through their actions, they will be able to inspire and mentor many other change-makers who will take responsibility for societal transformation. 

The GAIA Fellowship is a process that will improve leadership capabilities to drive sustainability in and outside the workplace.
